Went shopping. Random thing I have found peeps don't know, you can buy just the wiper rubber from Toyota, then you just use the metal insert from the current blade. Cheap and OEM rubber is fantastic.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (63 Viewers)

mounting them requires some creativity. the steel part of the bumper is right under the meat of the front fascia so I wasn't able to get a drill straight up and down on it. Ideally you would take a 5 1/2" or longer bolt and bolt the mounts to that part but I ended up using metal screws and big washers.
Search on Amazon for a "Mictuning 2-lead light bar harness". It was $12 bucks and that's way cheaper than going out and buying your own relay, 14awg wire, connectors. Ask me how I know......
PM me if you want my cell number and I can get you some more pictures when you're ready.
Check out this thread, might be of some help for you. It's for doing similar on an LC but the bumper bar is the same on LC and LX.
LC aux LED fog light install

Made an emergency detour while driving in to work - the light from the sunrise was stunning:
Breathtaking!
I would not have made it out without the rear locker though, conditions were absolute s***e... Land Cruiser FTW

I sprayed MonstaLiner on it a few weeks ago. Just need to throw the gamiviti and rear bumper back on.
@LandCruiserPhil rear mud flap delete.
Hey alright finally I see someone with a rear towhook with the D Shackle on it. May I ask where you got the tow hook assembly? There's tons of ebay and I'm curious if the generic 2 inch reciever with D Shackle is what you got. Thanks!
Pictures look awesome
Bad ass man. Can I ask price?
I too am interested in price, process. Are you concerned the white is going to trap dirt and become discolored?
Thanks. All in for 2 gallons of Monstaliner, Walcom Shutz Gun, and misc supplies (tape, masking paper/plastic, acetone, buckets, sandpaper,etc) was right around $400.
This was the main concern I had, but after countless hours reading about Monstaliner on various forums I don't think it'll be an issue.

What size Open Country?
I finally got around to installing the Slee primary upgrade battery tray that's been sitting in my garage for over a month now (this roughly translates to: I didn't go skiing this weekend) and a X2 Power group 31 dual purpose marine battery. This battery is monster compared to the group 35 Yellowtop it replaced. It weighs 75 lbs and damn near gave me a hernia when lowering it into the bay!
These batteries are made by Northstar and are made in the US.
Specs: 1150cca, 220 minute reserve and a 4 year warranty, AGM dual purpose (starting/deep cycle)
Eventually I will install a dual battery setup, but wanted to start with a bigger primary since I will be installing a 12,000 lbs winch and bull bar in the next month or two and I still need to rely on deep cycling for camping and general reliability in the backcountry.
Compare the size of this g35 yellowtop to the g31 X2 in the image below.
I bought a cheap battery lug crimper from amazon. It's definitely made out of Chinesium and I did have to take it apart and bleed it because it had air in the chamber and didn't want to fully compress. After pulling it apart, greasing the o-rings and bleeding it, it worked like a champ. For what I paid, it was absolutely worth it and makes very nice, tight crimps.

Finally getting around to installing my 270˚ awning. This is the prototype that I had made with my RTT. It has a full wall kit and floor as well.
I made some 1/4" stainless brackets today. Since the roof line is wider at the front I made one bracket slightly longer to help with the angle.
I'll get it installed tomorrow morning.
